Lung Cancer Immune Checkpoint Configuration for Therapeutic Use
Author(s): Da Ma*
Lung cancer conventional treatment options need to be improved. The premise of immunotherapy is that therapeutic drugs stimulate the immune
system to destroy tumor cells. Immunotherapy includes medications that target immune checkpoints. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are specific
antibodies that target immune checkpoints. In this section, we investigate novel checkpoints that may be targeted in the future as well as the agents
that target these checkpoints. Immune checkpoints are one-of-a-kind components of the body's defense mechanism that keep the body safe from
immune responses strong enough to harm healthy cells. Immune checkpoints are triggered when proteins on the surface of T cells recognize
and bind to proteins on other tumor cells. Immunological checkpoints are the names given to these proteins. When the checkpoints interact with
companion proteins, they send.. Read More»
